Prostate Cancer Diagnosis Tests

Advanced tests to diagnose prostate cancer.

If your doctor suspects that you may have prostate cancer, our experts are here to provide you with a quick and accurate testing and diagnosis. If your test shows you have prostate cancer, our prostate cancer team will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan.

What happens if my screening test indicates that I could have prostate cancer?

If a screening test indicates that you may have prostate cancer, our team will conduct a biopsy to determine your diagnosis. We offer several types of advanced biopsy techniques, including:

• MRI targeted biopsy: Uses state-of-the-art technology to combine MRI imaging with real-time ultrasound images to accurately and safely guide the biopsy procedure. This technique allows for a one-stop diagnostic process for prostate cancer with results in less than 48 hours.
• Transperineal prostate biopsy: A safer prostate biopsy technique that uses a transperineal approach, which avoids the traditional approach through the rectum to minimize the risk of infection, the need for antibiotics, or the need to stop aspirin.
• Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) and biopsy: This procedure involves a narrow ultrasound probe to be inserted into the rectum. The ultrasound probe sends and receives sound waves that create images of the prostate gland and the tissue that surrounds it. Your doctor may recommend doing a biopsy of the prostate gland during this procedure.
• High-resolution micro ultrasound: This ultrasound—which is 300% more accurate than a regular ultrasound—can scan the prostate for tumors. If a tumor is found, the ultrasound machine is equipped with the tools needed for your doctor to conduct a biopsy right then and there.
